Summary:

Tom Riddle is back, on the run, dating the most popular boy in school, and best friends with Harry Potter, of all people.

Notes:

Welcome back! Or if you’re new, hello! I suggest you start with book one, but you do you.

(The gang’s all here, I promise, I’m just starting out tagging small while I figure out who needs to be tagged for this arc.)

Chapter 1: Previously On...

Summary:

A quick summary of where the characters are.

Chapter Text

ALBUS is trying to hold all the strands of his plan together, but people keep doing their own thing. smh.

ANDROMEDA is the new DADA teacher. She has also reunited with Sirius.

ARTHUR was attacked by Nagini, but thanks to a certain someone’s intel, survived, and is now in the care of Saint Mungo’s’ healers.

BARTY has been skulking about Hogsmeade, living the life. He needs the Dark Lord to care about him again, especially since a certain auror will flirt with him but refuses to take it any further.

BELLATRIX wants her family back. Her Dark Lord no longer loves her, so she’s become a spy for the order. Needs must.

CEDRIC is in love with Tom. This has caused him to become an accomplice in murder. He doesn’t mind. Except now Tom has been expelled and he can’t contact him. Time for a search party?

GINNY doesn’t like all this Tom Peverell business. She’s had that guy in her head. He’s a villain, plain and simple.

HARRY has Tom Riddle for a pseudo brother. This is less strange than one might expect. But he’s just been rendered unconscious while in the supposed safety of his common room. Now that’s a problem.

HERMIONE has been learning Dark Magic from Tom. She’s also started a secret defense club.

KINGSLEY may have flirted with Barty. Once or twice. It’s okay, soon enough he’ll have the means to convict him, and everything will be alright. As alright as it ever is, at least.

MOLLY plays matchmaker in her free time, though now Arthur’s injury is all she can think about.

NARCISSA only cares about her family making it through alright.

PETER is dead.

REMUS is head over heels for Tonks.

RON’s just been trying to be a supportive friend, even as that gets more difficult as his friends keep doing crazy, chaotic, maybe-evil things.

SEVERUS has kissed Sirius of all people. He can’t bring himself to regret it. Missions for the Dark Lord and Dumbledore come first, though, even if he’s no loyal Death Eater and his trust in the headmaster is quickly waning.

SIRIUS killed Wormtail, kissed Snape, and realized his godson doesn’t care too much about his occasional murderous tendencies. All in one day. He’s pretty happy with it.

THEO might be falling for Harry. It’s of no importance, though, because what he really needs to do is figure out what is going on with Tom Peverell and how Harry could hold the secret to defeating the Dark Lord.

TOM has dealt rather well with his sudden appearance some fifty years in the future. He has a boyfriend, some good friends, a little brother in the form of Harry Potter, and a plan. Well, fragments of a plan. He’s been expelled from Hogwarts but he has two horcruxes now, so that’s something?

TONKS is falling for Remus. In the meantime, though, she’ll tease Sirius endlessly about Severus because what else are cousins for?

VOLDEMORT must find Harry Potter and this past version of himself. Then he can get back to this exhausting business of conquering the British Isles.

WENDY wants—no, needs—magic. She needs the Elder Wand to get it, and to get the Elder Wand, and bring all three Hollows together, she needs Tom Riddle.
